Shipping methods

A shipping method manages a set of information and rules that determine the shipping cost and displays it on the front-end site during the checkout procedure. The shipping fee is added to the total price of the purchase. A Shipping Method is mapped to a Shipping Provider, visible to a back-end administrator in Commerce Manager. This lets the public site display friendly names such as Ground Shipping to the customer and this is mapped to a provider such as UPS. Therefore, when a customer picks Ground Shipping, UPS is used.
